ISAIAH JENKINS Memoriam

In Loving Memory Of UNCLE ISAIAH (BIG GUY) JENKINS JR. On October 11, 2015, if your nieces & nephews could have prayed you back, you would have woke up on October 12th, 2015. But how excellent is our God? You didn't suffer long and now we have yet another angel watching over us. See in this family the love is not contingent based off who your parents are. In fact, it is really irrelevant who your parents are because as nieces and nephews, we are every aunt and every uncle's children. Uncle Isaiah you have played a vital role in all of our lives. Although, you biologically fathered three children you really had 16. So Uncle Isaiah: For the countless dollar bills you gave, Thank You For the 10 million pounds of furniture that you moved, Thank You For taking five thousand bags of trash out, Thank You For visiting all the college campuses, you should have received our degrees, Thank You For the miles and miles of grass that you cut, Thank you For teaching us how to supervise, Thank you For teaching us how to love, Thank you For teaching us what a marriage looks like, Thank you. For being there for our parents, Thank you For teaching us how to be our brother's and sister's keeper, Thank you For being the grandfather many of us never met, Thank you For the millions of time you sat at the head of the dinner table and said the grace, Thank you For the unlimited tie breaking never say no(s), Thank you For the 2 million dollars for gas that we ole you, Thank you For the unlimited times you told us our skirts were too short, Thank you For the 1 million "why weren't you at church today text messages?", Thank you For encouraging us to get married so that you could have some wedding cake, Thank you For reminding us that if we woke up past 9 a.m., we already missed the entire day, Thank you For being our neighborhood security guard and watch man, Thank you For Lonnie, Izla, Isaiah III & Shyra, Thank you For being an early birthday surprise for Auntie Glenda, Thank you And Finally, On October 11th, 2015, none of us knew you were a heartbeat away from heaven. But, that's okay because Uncle Isaiah you worshipped, you prayed and you loved. So on behalf of your nieces and nephews, JOB WELL DONE SERVANT, JOB WELL DONE!!! Sadly missed by Your Nieces and Nephews
